Case Background (300 words max): YUSMAN TELAUMBANUA Alias JONI Alias UCOK Alias JONIUS HALAWA (19 years old) is an Indonesian citizen who was arrested by the Police and his colleagues for participating in the crime of premeditated murder as stipulated in Article 340 Juncto Article 55 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning the Criminal Code. The defendant and his colleagues planned to kill the victims with the aim that after the death the victims' heads would be taken for sale, used as amulets, and some would be used as medicine. The defendant belonged to the category of children who were then sentenced to life imprisonment but were sentenced to death by a panel of judges of the court of first instance. The defendant admitted that he was tortured by investigators and his case was allegedly fabricated, did not receive effective legal assistance and competent legal counsel, and did not understand the entire judicial process he went through. On August 17, 2017, the defendant was released from prison for receiving an Independence Day remission, after the Supreme Court overturned his death sentence to 5 years in prison through a review decision.

Defence Arguments (200 words max.): At the court of first instance, the defendant's legal counsel even pleaded with the defendant to be sentenced to death. Meanwhile, the defendant's legal counsel in the review process stated that there was new evidence (Novum) in the form of the applicant's age still ranging from 15-16 years old at the time of the crime so that the applicant was classified as a child based on Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. Meanwhile, the writing of the applicant's age listed in the case file is 19 years old as a result of torture which was admitted by the investigator in a letter from the Regional Supervisory Inspector of the North Sumatra Regional Police. Therefore, the death penalty verdict against the applicant as a child is contrary to Article 26 paragraph (2) of Law Number 3 of 1997 concerning the Children's Court where if the child commits a criminal act that is threatened with the death penalty or life imprisonment, then the penalty that can be imposed on the child is imprisonment for a maximum of 10 (ten) years.

Judgement with Headnotes (200 words max): The panel of judges at the court of first instance considered that there was nothing mitigating, while the aggravating thing was that the defendant's actions were classified as sadistic, heinous and inhumane so it was appropriate and fair if the defendant was sentenced to a fairly severe sentence. The panel of judges at the review level granted the defendant's application with a novum from a forensic doctor and assessed that the decision of the court of first instance had occurred an error of the judge or a manifest error in considering the facts at the trial so as to harm the defendant's legal position in the criminal sentence. In the end, the sentence against the applicant was changed from the death penalty to 5 years in prison.
